The cut or clipped scenes from the second half of the pilot:
We've already mentioned the scene between Vicki and Carolyn when Carolyn drives Vicki to the stables.
Victoria and David are discussing Sara in his room ... David knows she's humoring him - "You're just pretending. You don't really believe she's real." Victoria tells him, if Sara is real for him, that's what counts. "I know that when I was a little girl your age, I had a small friend by the name of Amy, and no one believed me either. But she was real, David... real to me." David, "What did you used to do with this Amy?" "I talked to her, we told each other things, we played games together." "Do you still see her?" "I stopped seeing her a long time ago." "Why?" "Oh, when I was eleven or twelve." "Then she wasn't real. I'm never gonna stop seeing Sara." "That's the way I felt too, but you'll see. There'll come a time when you won't need her anymore." She's certain they'll be good friends. She leaves.
Barnabas is happy to discover Victoria at the Old House... Noticing Willie is still hanging around, Barnabas raises his voice: "Thank you, Willie. If I need you, I'll call." Willie finally leaves. Barnabas laughs softly, "I believe you've made a conquest, Victoria. Willie seems quite smitten with you." Victoria, becoming slightly nervous, says, "Willie's not so bad," and adds she must be going, but Barnabas persuades her to stay. Victoria, "You've done so much here in such a short time." They start up toward camera. Barnabas, "Do you like it?" Victoria, "It's beautiful." Barnabas, "Yes... All great works are... The work of writers, of painters, the great buildings of Europe, the pyramids..." "But I see happiness here. The pyramids were designed to be tombs." "Of course, you are right... But this house was never meant to be a tomb."
Interior. Upstairs Corridor. Pan With Them as they walk By Camera, start along the upstairs corridor.
Barnabas, "My ancestors designed it to represent a marriage between the elegance of Europe and the promise of a new world." They continue along the hallway. Barnabas reveals his discovery - a room that clearly once was boarded up.
(Part of this sequence appears on MPI's DS Resurrected VHS.)
...the scene continues... Victoria is enthralled and chilled by the story (of Josette's death). Becoming ueasy, she decides she must return to Collinwood. Barnabas apologizes - "How unthinking of me" - and escorts her out.
Interior. Foyer as they come down the stairs.
Victoria, "I still can't get over how much that portrait looks like me." Barnabas, "Perhaps the next time you are here, I can tell you more of the family history." "I'd like that. I'd especially like to hear more about Josette." They stop by the front door. he smiles at her, this is exactly what he wanted to hear. Reluctantly he opens the door, holds her gaze. Victoria, "Goodnight, Barnabas." Barnabas, "Goodnight, Victoria." He watches her intently as she goes. Then, slowly closing the door, he turns, glares up the stairs. Barnabas shouts savagely for Willie, who races on to the landing.
Barnabas and Victoria are discussing Josette's music box... Victoria, "The greatest gifts are always those given with love... no matter what they might be." Barnabas, "Yes... no matter what they might be." He takes her hand. He looks deeply into her eyes. "Have you ever been in love, Victoria? Truly in love?" Victoria, "Once... and you?" "Yes... once." Their eyes hold a beat, then the tune comes to an end. Victoria closes the box. Victoria reveals she haunted by the image of Josette - "It's almost as if in some strange way we're connected... Across time and the centuries..."
...the scene continues... The clock chimes, reminding Victoria of the hour. "It's late. I should be going and you've hardly touched your plate." Barnabas, "The pleasure of your company, Victoria, is more than enough for me." Barnabas calls to Willie and informs him he's taking Victoria to Collinwood.
